Preview: Ahli vs. Leopards
Published in FilGoal on 30 - 08 - 2013


AHLI (EGYPT) vs. LEOPARDS (CONGO)
Kickoff: 16.00 CLT
CAF Champions League Group A
Venue: Gouna Stadium, Hurghada
MATCH FACTS
-Ahli played four games at Gouna Stadium since 2010 - two against home team Gouna and two in the Champions League - but have yet to win a game there.
-Ahli keeper Sherif Ekrami – a former Gouna goalie – played eight games with both clubs at the venue and only managed two clean sheets.
-Rami Rabiea, Sayed Moawad and Sherif Abdul-Fadil were the top three Ahli players with successful tackles in the 1-0 first-leg win and were all starting for the first time in the group stage.
-The number of goals (three) Ahli have conceded against Orlando Pirates in their last home fixture, equals the number of home goals they've leaked in during the entire group stage of last season.
QUOTES
Ahli coach Mohamed Youssef
"Leopards will be even tougher on Saturday than they were in Congo. They know well losing this match may cost them their semi-final qualification hopes, so they will fight hard.
"The same applies to us, so it's going to be a difficult game for both teams."
Leopards assistant coach Cyril Ndonga
"Tactically and technically we were superior to the Egyptians in the first leg. We have learnt our lessons so as to rectify a number of things that did not work out."
TEAM NEWS
Ahli regain the services of key duo Ahmed Fathi and Hossam Ashour, whereas Ahmed Abdul-Zaher is also back from suspension.
Strikers Geddo and Emad Meteb remain long-term absentees, while unsettled Mauritania forward Dominique da Silva has been dropped.
Leopards will be again hoping for star forward and influential skipper Rudy Ndey to make his return after suffering a hamstring injury against Zamalek earlier in August.
